This morning, 11-time Grammy winner Taylor Swift delivered a different kind of acceptance speech.
“Hi, I’m Taylor,” she began. “The last time I was in a stadium this size, I was dancing in heels and wearing a glittery leotard. This outfit is much more comfortable.”

The event honored the Class of 2022 as well as the pandemic-cloistered graduates of 2020 and 2021 and was so big that it had to take place at Yankee Stadium. Swift, 32, came with advice appropriate for the times.
“Life can be heavy, especially if you try to carry it all at once,” she said. “Part of growing up and moving into new chapters of your life is about catch and release.
